Jolene Green: Support for Ashley Bartley for VT Senate
She has worked her tail off for us in the House over the last four years. As a REALTOR, I've watched clients leave Vermont as they've become taxed out of their home, or because the cost of childcare in the state they were born and raised in had simply become too high. I've watched Ashley fight to keep Vermont affordable and within reach for families who want to stay here.

My opponent says I don’t have the time to be a Senator. Here’s my answer.
My opponent has been telling voters that I won’t have enough time to serve in the State Senate because I’m a full-time working mother with two children. I think it’s worth asking why, in 2026, we’re still questioning whether a woman can lead because she’s also a mother.

Independent Representative Jed Lipsky backs Ashley for State Senate!
I have had the privilege of working with Ashley in the House of Representatives over the last four years. Ashley takes care and consideration in how every piece of legislation will affect her constituents, and she has always put them first. As an independent State Representative, I don't endorse lightly or along party lines — I look for legislators who put good policy over politics. Ashley is exactly that kind of leader. I've seen her not just reach across the aisle, but sit

The Vermont Police Association Endorses Ashley Bartley
I'm more than honored to have the support of an organization supporting our men and women in blue. Working closely with the Vermont Police Association, we were finally able to pass survivor benefits; also known as Jessica's Law here in Vermont. Collaboration is critical if you want to make progress in Montpelier. I'm looking forward to working closely with the VPA next year as your Vermont State Senator.

Tony Micklus Supports Ashley Bartley
For the past couple of years serving in the State House, I have had the joy and privilege of working with many dedicated Representatives. One of those Representatives is Ashley Bartley. We have worked closely together on one of Vermont’s most pressing challenges: solving the housing crisis and bringing affordability back to our state. When I heard Senator Chris Mattos would not be running again and then learned that Ashley was stepping forward to run for his Senate seat, I wa

Ashley has been a strong collaborator with our Select Board throughout her time representing Fairfax in the Vermont House of Representatives. She has consistently kept the lines of communication open, working hard to make sure that what happens in Montpelier reflects what's best for our town. That kind of responsiveness isn't something every legislator prioritizes, but Ashley has made it a hall

Legislative Update: Week 2
This week at the State House, my committee continued to take a step back and look honestly at where our housing policies stand and what needs to change. Again and again, we heard the same message: housing in Vermont takes too long to build, costs too much, and is slowed down by a permitting, zoning, and appeals process that is overly complex, duplicative and unpredictable. These barriers don’t just delay projects; they add cost at every step and ultimately limit the number o

It's time to get to work.
Tomorrow marks the start of the 2026 Vermont legislative session. It remains an honor to serve Franklin-1 and I am committed to ensuring your voices are heard in Montpelier. When the House convenes, we will swear in two new members. During the adjournment, several sitting members resigned their seats. We wish those who have departed the very best and are excited to welcome new colleagues to the House. In 2024, Vermonters sent a clear message: the Legislature must make meanin
